of space and time
a moon orbited an isolated planet
she did not choose to be attached
by the invisible tether
she simply revolved there
drawn by a force inexplicable
she affected the tides, she pushed the winds
but over time, her momentum slowed
and little by little
she was released into vastness
drifting into quiet, unlit space
and the planet was not disturbed
Nicely done. It reads aloud beautifully as well.
ReplyDeleteThe only bit I halted on reading it was: "she affected the tides, she pushed the winds"
I can't find a reading for that so I tried
"she affected the tides and pushed the winds"
and
"she affected the tides, pushed the winds"
Shrug, my humble opinion.
I also appreciate the fact that the illustration was at the end... By the time I got to it, I didn't need it, and so it's free free-floating beauty. A bonus.
sigh.....
